*sigh
well... i think a woman should have the right to do it if she wants to.
second, i would dread having one myself cause you never know how shit can go wrong and u'll be left sterile.
i just can't see a situation where i'd have one..regardless how bad things may be financially or other.

i think castration of all men and personal sperm banks are the best solution to unwanted pregnancies

I Know God exist, but I'm not addressing this from that stand point:

That little period (.) is a life, left to its devices, it would be another generation of crappers in the coming years. I feel for your friend, but she would be eliminating a life, I wouldn't say murder since maliciousness isn't necessarily behind her choice, but I would say, she's eliminating a life.

Though she's young and probably scared, and she should be, having a child is difficult for any one, regardless of age, financial status and/or morality. Morality means doing what is in the best interest of all those involved: whether that is to God, your fellow man, and or harmless creatures; unborn/babies and/or animals.

What ever decision she makes, support her, for ill or good, support your friend. Don't decide for her, regardless of what she says. Tell her the ins and outs of both choices and allow her space to decide.

yeah we are definitely looking into it and its difficult cuz she's pretty religious and even avoids taking birth control for various reasons (dont ask me) but the whole process is pretty scary. somewhat surprsing because she's been sexually active with him for like 5 years and they're both in grad school...its a sticky situation thanks for the input tho!

I read a few years back about a japanese lady who was very young and had gotten pregnant, she had an abortion because of several reasons. But twenty years later, she was unable to conceive due to an illness, and finds herself every day grieving for the child she aborted, though I'm sure there are several other stories where women had their babies and after thus, there lives went to hell.

Interestingly enough, one of the spiritual directors in the faith I'm trying to follow asked me if I was against abortion. Naturally I said of course, that is murder--- I hate it, but then he did something rather amazing:

He said: "What if your wife is dying due to the child she carried, and the Doctor advised an abortion to save her life, though if taken to term, the baby would live, but she wouldn't."

That stopped me cold, and I wasn't so sure anymore, though the obvious answer would be for me to say that 'God's will would be done regardless', but he noticed my hesitation, and said that a follower of Christ is interested in God's will and not their wants or desires.

Since then, I've been thinking more and brain farting less.
